Open Letter to President Adama Barrow and All Gambians,
Dear Mr President and All Gambians,
We Demand Justice for the Faraba Banta Victims and More
We are outraged, and sick to the stomach to learn of the killings (2) and injuries (3) of protesters at Faraba Banta on June 18, 2018. What justification could there be to brutally shoot and kill protesters who were merely exercising their rights for the sake of humanity, in a manner that was not life-threatening? Who ordered the use of such lethal force and who fired the shots? We demand a swift resolution to this crisis. Those responsible, including those who ordered it must be quickly arrested and brought before the law with justice swiftly served.
We have suffered enough and are not prepared to see another Gambian blood spill over with total impunity.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and all of Faraba Banta at this sore time.
Sincerely,
Leadership Team of the New Gambia Movement.
